Bel Power Solutions point-of-load converters are
recommended for use with regulated bus converters in an
Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA). The YNC12S20 nonisolated DC-DC converter delivers up to 20 A of output
current in an industry-standard surface-mount package.
Operating from a 9.6 to 14 VDC input, the YNC12S20
converter is an ideal choice for Intermediate Bus
Architectures where point-of-load power delivery is generally
a requirement. It provides a resistor-programmable
regulated output voltage of 0.7525V to 5.5V.
The Y-Series converters provide exceptional thermal
performance, even in high temperature environments with
minimal airflow. This is accomplished through the use of
circuit, packaging and processing techniques to achieve
ultra-high efficiency, excellent thermal management and a
very low body profile.
The low body profile and the preclusion of heat sinks
minimize impedance to system airflow, thus enhancing
cooling for both upstream and downstream devices. The use
of 100% automation for assembly, coupled with advanced
power electronics and thermal design, results in a product
with extremely high reliability.

2. OPERATIONS
2.1. INPUT AND OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
The Y-Series converter should be connected via a low impedance to the DC power source. In many applications, the
inductance associated with the distribution from the power source to the input of the converter can affect the stability
of the converter. It is recommended to use decoupling capacitors in order to ensure stability of the converter and reduce
input ripple voltage. The converter has an internal input capacitance of 40 μF with very low ESR (ceramic capacitors).
In a typical application, low - ESR tantalum or POS capacitors will be sufficient to provide adequate ripple voltage
filtering at the input of the converter. However, very low ESR ceramic capacitors 47μF-100 μF are recommended at the
input of the converter in order to minimize the input ripple voltage. They should be placed as close as possible to the
input pins of the converter.
YNC12S20 has been designed for stable operation with or without external capacitance. Low ESR ceramic capacitors
placed as close as possible to the load (Min 47 μF) are recommended for improved transient performance and lower
output voltage ripple.
It is important to keep low resistance and low inductance PCB traces for connecting load to the output pins of the
converter in order to maintain good load regulation.
2.2. ON/OFF (PIN 1)
The ON/OFF pin is used to turn the power converter on or off remotely via a system signal. There are two remote
control options available, positive logic (standard option) and negative logic, and both are referenced to GND. Typical
connections are shown in Fig. A.
The positive logic version turns the converter on when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic high or left open, and turns the
converter off when at a logic low or shorted to GND.

R* is for negative logic option only
Fig. A: Circuit configuration for ON/OFF function.
The negative logic version turns the converter on when the ON/OFF pin is at logic low or left open, and turns the
converter off when the ON/OFF pin is at a logic high or connected to Vin.
ON/OFF pin is internally pulled-up to Vin for a positive logic version, and pulled-down for a negative logic version. A
TTL or CMOS logic gate, open collector (open drain) transistor can be used to drive ON/OFF pin. When using open
collector (open drain) transistor with a negative logic option, add a pull-up resistor (R*) of 75 kΩ to Vin as shown in Fig.
A; This device must be capable of:
-
sinking up to 0.2 mA at a low level voltage of 0.8 V
sourcing up to 0.25 mA at a high logic level of 2.3V – 5V
sourcing up to 0.75 mA when connected to Vin.
2.3. REMOTE SENSE (PIN 2)
The remote sense feature of the converter compensates for voltage drops occurring only between Vout pin (Pin 4) of
the converter and the load. The SENSE (Pin 2) pin should be connected at the load or at the point where regulation is
required (see Fig. B). There is no sense feature on the output GND return pin, where a solid ground plane is
recommended to provide low voltage drop.
If remote sensing is not required, the SENSE pin must be connected to the Vout pin (Pin 4) to ensure the converter will
regulate at the specified output voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter will deliver an output voltage
that is slightly higher than the specified value.

Fig. B: Remote sense circuit configuration.
Because the sense lead carries minimal current, large traces on the end-user board are not required. However, sense
traces should be located close to a ground plane to minimize system noise and ensure optimum performance.
When utilizing the remote sense feature, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable output power
capability of the converter, equal to the product of the nominal output voltage and the allowable output current for the
given conditions.
When using remote sense, the output voltage at the converter can be increased up to 0.5V above the nominal rating in
order to maintain the required voltage across the load. Therefore, the designer must, if necessary, decrease the
maximum current (originally obtained from the derating curves) by the same percentage to ensure the converter’s actual
output power remains at or below the maximum allowable output power.
2.4. OUTPUT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING (PIN 3)
The output voltage can be programmed from 0.7525V to 5.5V by connecting an external resistor between TRIM pin (Pin
3) and GND pin (Pin 5); see Fig. C.
A trim resistor, RTRIM, for a desired output voltage can be calculated using the following equation:
RTRIM =
10.5
−1
(VO -REQ - 0.7525)
[k]
where,
RTRIM = Required value of trim resistor [k]

Note that the tolerance of a trim resistor directly affects the output voltage tolerance. It is recommended to use standard
1% or 0.5% resistors; for tighter tolerance, two resistors in parallel are recommended rather than one standard value
from Table 1.
The ground pin of the trim resistor should be connected directly to the converter GND pin (Pin 5) with no voltage drop
in between. Table 1 provides the trim resistor values for popular output voltages.

The output voltage can be also programmed by external voltage source. To make trimming less sensitive, a series

3. PROTECTION FEATURES
3.1. INPUT UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Input undervoltage lockout is standard with this converter. The converter will shut down when the input voltage drops
below a pre-determined voltage; it will start automatically when Vin returns to a specified range.
The input voltage must be at least 9.6V (typically 9V) for the converter to turn on. Once the converter has been turned
on, it will shut off when the input voltage drops below typically 8.5V.

© 2015 Bel Power Solutions, Inc.
BCD.00700_AA
3.2. OUTPUT OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (OCP)
The converter is protected against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. Upon sensing an over-current condition
(see Fig. D), the converter will enter hiccup mode. Once the overload or short circuit condition is removed, Vout will
return to nominal value.
Fig. D: Output short circuit current (10 A/div) (RLOAD= 10 mOhm) for Vout = 5.0 V Time scale:
1 ms/div.; Bottom trace: Zoomed current with time scale 0.1 ms/div.
3.3. OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION (OTP)
The converter will shut down under an overtemperature condition to protect itself from overheating caused by operation
outside the thermal derating curves, or operation in abnormal conditions such as system fan failure. After the converter
has cooled to a safe operating temperature, it will automatically restart.
3.4. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The converter meets North American and International safety regulatory requirements per UL60950 and EN60950. The
maximum DC voltage between any two pins is Vin under all operating conditions. Therefore, the unit has ELV (extra low
voltage) output; it meets SELV requirements under the condition that all input voltages are ELV.
The converter is not internally fused. To comply with safety agencies requirements, a recognized fuse with a maximum
rating of 20 Amps must be used in series with the input line.
4. CHARACTERIZATION
4.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The converter has been characterized for many operational aspects, to include thermal derating (maximum load current
as a function of ambient temperature and airflow) for vertical and horizontal mounting, efficiency, start-up and shutdown
parameters, output ripple and noise, transient response to load step-change, overload, and short circuit.
The figures are numbered as Fig. x.y, where x indicates the different output voltages, and y associates with specific
plots (y = 1 for the vertical thermal derating, …). For example, Fig. x.1 will refer to the vertical thermal derating for all
the output voltages in general.
The following pages contain specific plots or waveforms associated with the converter. Additional comments for
specific data are provided below.
4.2. TEST CONDITIONS
All thermal and efficiency data presented were taken with the converter soldered to a test board, specifically a 0.060”
thick printed wiring board (PWB) with four layers. The top and bottom layers were not metalized. The two inner layers,
comprising two-ounce copper, were used to provide traces for connectivity to the converter.
The lack of metalization on the outer layers as well as the limited thermal connection ensured that heat transfer from
the converter to the PWB was minimized. This provides a worst-case but consistent scenario for thermal derating
purposes.

BCD.00700_AA
All measurements requiring airflow were made in vertical and horizontal wind tunnel facilities using Infrared (IR)
thermography and thermocouples for thermometry.
Ensuring components on the converter do not exceed their ratings is important to maintaining high reliability. If one
anticipates operating the converter at or close to the maximum loads specified in the derating curves, it is prudent to
check actual operating temperatures in the application. Thermographic imaging is preferable; if this capability is not
available, then thermocouples may be used. It is recommended to use AWG #40 gauge thermocouples to ensure
measurement accuracy. Careful routing of the thermocouple leads will further minimize measurement error. Refer to
Fig. E for optimum measuring thermocouple location.
4.3. THERMAL DERATING
Load current vs. ambient temperature and airflow rates are given in Figs. x.1 for maximum temperature of 120 °C.
Ambient temperature was varied between 25 °C and 85 °C, with airflow rates from 30 to 500 LFM (0.15m/s to 2.5 m/s),
and vertical converter mounting. The airflow during the testing is parallel to the short axis of the converter, going from
pin 1 and pin 6 to pins 2 – 5.
For each set of conditions, the maximum load current was defined as the lowest of:
(i) The output current at which either any MOSFET temperature did not exceed a maximum specified temperature
(120°C) as indicated by the thermographic image, or
(ii) The maximum current rating of the converter (20 A)
During normal operation, derating curves with maximum FET temperature less than or equal to 120 °C should not be
exceeded. Temperature on the PCB at the thermocouple location shown in Fig. E should not exceed 120 °C in order to
operate inside the derating curves.
Fig. E: Location of the thermocouple for thermal testing.
4.4. EFFICIENCY
Figure x.2 shows the efficiency vs. load current plot for ambient temperature of 25 ºC, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s)
and input voltages of 9.6 V, 12 V, and 14 V.
4.5. POWER DISSIPATION
Fig. x.3 shows the power dissipation vs. load current plot for Ta = 25 ºC, airflow rate of 200 LFM (1 m/s) with vertical
mounting and input voltages of 9.6 V, 12 V, and 14 V.
4.6. RIPPLE AND NOISE
The output voltage ripple waveform is measured at full rated load current. Note that all output voltage waveforms are
measured across a 1 F ceramic capacitor.
The output voltage ripple and input reflected ripple current waveforms are obtained using the test setup. See Figure F.
